The EMP, or Electromagnetic pulse, is a rapid magnetic fluctuation which induces pulses of current in unshielded electronics. Natural sources of EMP include lightning, whereas artificial ones include a nuclear blast.

A nuclear blast generates an EMP via gamma radiation interacting with air molecules to create Compton electrons. These create a brief current and an associated electromagnetic pulse. This is especially hazardous with an exo-atmospheric nuclear blast outside the atmosphere, as the region affected by Compton electrons in such a manner becomes enormous and the electrons will rotate around the Earth's natural magnetic field lines, creating a vast pulse.

EMPs and NEMPs are extremely hazardous to unshielded electronics, causing rapid fluctuations in current, especially in long wires or antennae.

1. ElectroMagnetic Pulse. A "wave" that could potentially cripple every industrialized nation, silently. It basically fries circuits in an electronic device, rendering it useless. And since most national defense grids are made up of electronic relay circuits, you've got yourself a prime target right there.

1. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a short burst of electromagnetic energy, which has the capacity to shutdown or completely destroy electronic equipment.

2. The completely incapacitating effect particular sexually attractive people or scenes have on a person's brain, leading to immediate and acute haziness, confusion, fumbling of words and concepts, the sensation of heat, and loss of leg strength. Adolescent males are generally severely susceptible to this phenomenon with any females they find attractive, while females and adult males suffer the emp effect more discriminately, according to their particular physical preferences, tastes, and kinks.

An employee of Silver Bay Association, a small conference center in the Adirondacks. Emps work in housekeeping, the Boathouse, the Dining Hall, Collins Equipment Center, the Craft Shop, Children's Camps, Administration, and The Store. On their time off, they party at "the dunes" or relax on the dock of the ERC (emp recreation center). Working as an emp is one of the best jobs one can have.
